Take Me Down
F.A.T. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never said I could be
The guy you once saw in me.
I wasn't made to love you
Everyone make mistakes
We are both to blame.

We got to face it baby
The light has faded on us.

Leavin' a life that's hopeless
Oh ! don't you feel it's time to
Pack and say goodbye.

Take me back where I long to be
Where the music's free
And the lights are bright.

I can't explain, I can't explain
I'm sorry for your pain but
Take me back.

We got to face it baby

the light has faded on us.
Leavin' a life that's hopeless
Oh ! don't you feel it's time to
Pack and say goodbay.

Take me back where I long to be
Where the music's free
And the lights are bright.

I can't explain, I can't explain
I'm sorry for your pain but
Take me back.

I can't explain, I can't explain
I'm sorry for your pain but
Take me back.

Take me back,
Take me back,

Take me back,
Take me back
